Having an ultrasound of a neck lump or unusual mass can help to put your mind to rest. Images of the affected area of the neck can be analysed without the need for diagnostic surgery or a biopsy. Ultrasound scans provide images of the soft tissue that cannot be obtained using a standard x-ray. We can look at your neck and any nodules felt in previous examinations using a small probe; this transducer sends images back to the computer that we can monitor.
